Easy way to apply labels?

Is there a utility or script that can apply a label without having to go into a finder/file menu.
It would be good it there were buttons on the finder window so a file could be selcted and button pressed.
Anyone know of such a utility??

Are you asking about the coloured Finder labels, or perhaps I am misunderstanding the question? In addition to the "Finder" > "File" menu, labels can be applied by selecting one or more items and control-clicking to open the contextual menu, which is probably the most convenient way. If you prefer a button in the "Finder" window, the "action" menu in the toolbar (the gear shaped button, assuming the toolbar is showing) also allows labels to be set. If the "action" menu isn't visible, the toolbar can be customized through the "Customize toolbar…" option available through the "View" menu, or by control-clicking in the toolbar.

Auto reboot / Manual reboot : easy way to apply group policy for each group without multiple AD links? Help appreciated

Good morning,
I have two policies for WSUS, one that auto-reboots the client and one that allows for manual reboots. I'm sure this is very obvious, but i'm wanting to make sure I do this correctly.
What's the easiest way to apply the policy for manual/auto reboots without having to go through my entire active directory tree and link it to each OU containing mixed computers?
I hope this makes sense, but I know i can set security groups and then set it for the scope, but if I go that route is there a way to apply it to all Domain Computers, EXCEPT those who are a member of security group "MPS - WSUS Manual" for example?
Any input here is greatly appreciated
Thank you

If all the machines that you want to have the manual option are in a few select OUs then you could apply the auto reboot GPO to the root of the domain, and then link the manual GPO just to those GPOs containing the relevant machines. As explained here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc785665(v=ws.10).aspx a policy applied to an OU overrides a policy applied to the domain as a whole.
While I'm not sure, from your description I'm guessing that's the case, and they're actually mixed in throughout the domain? In which case, the other option might be to make use of group policies order or precedence. As described here
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/muaddib/archive/2012/08/22/determine-gpo-precedence-with-gpmc-gpresult.aspx you'll see that the order that the GPOs are listed makes a difference to the order that they are applied, and the last to be applied takes precedence over
those that come before. Therefore using that, if you applied the reboot policy to everyone, and then applied the manual one with a security filter so it only applied to your "MPS - WSUS Manual" group such that it had a higher precedence, all machines would
receive the first GPO, but those machines in that group would have that overridden by the second policy.

Any easy way to apply equalization?

Due to high-frequency hearing loss (hereditary, not iPod-induced, BTW) I am having trouble hearing higher-pitched instruments played back on the new Shuttle. I know that the Shuttle's software does not have equalizer capability at present. I would like to boost the high frequencies. I don't mind having special versions of the music for the Shuffle since it is so much smaller than my other iPod in capacity. I am wondering if there is some quick-and-easy software available that I could apply to the music files either before or after converting to AAC that would apply an equalization curve? This is all music that I own the CDs to, so it isn't "protected" and I can experiment with several settings before I convert a whole lot of music.

SInce the Shuffles (shuttles :)) don't have a way to set EQ, they won't apply settings even if you adjust them on individual songs.
I'm not sure what you can do aside from getting a headphone amp and better headphones - but that kind takes the fun out of the Shuffle being so small, etc.
I think for you I'd recommend at least a Nano and better cans. The Shuffles just don't offer enough flexibility for you - but others may have ideas I hadn't thought of.
I think that using software to individually adjust frequency might be way too time-consuming...

Labels and textfields - easy way to

I am doing a little form which is a bunch of textfields, I want to label them.
is there an easy way to do this rather than defining a label then fussing around with gridbags to get the layout right.
also I do not need to keep the labels and stuff, is there a way to create a tmp panel and a tmp label and then reuse these objects for each textfield? or do I have to just create them all, that seems a little messy.
Thanks

I don't know what 1.1 compatibility has to do with it, if it's a swing problem, switch to awt (take away the J)
String[] labelText = {"Textfield 1: ", "Textfield 2: ", "Textfield 3: "};
JTextField fields[];
// constructor
fields = new JTextField[labelText.length];
for(int j=0;j<labelText.length;j++)
    JPanel temp = new JPanel();
    temp.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
    temp.add(new JLabel(labelText[j]));
    fields[j] = new JTextField(10);
    temp.add(fields[j]);
}Now it doesn't matter what length your labels are, your temp label is right-aligned, and all the textfields will be the same size (10).
Note: You may have to reverse the order you add label/textfield, not sure since it's right aligned.

When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
the change to that one album
play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

Easy way to insert a span tag?

Hey all,
I was just curious if there was an easy way to wrap selected text or what not with a <span></span> tag by clicking a button or something similar?
There is of course the "Insert Div Tag" option, but is there one like this for spans? I feel like maybe I'm just missing this somewhere... :-)
Thanks!
Peter

Well, most of the time when you select some text and apply a different formatting, it will automatically add a span tag for you...
But if you want to manually put one, the quickest way is in code view (I work in split view most of the time...), but if you don't want to go inside the code, there are other ways...
Go into the Insert menu and choose Tag. Then go to the HTML tags section and in the right select span and click Insert. Clicking on the Tag Chooser button in the Common section of the Insert panel will do the same.
A quicker way would be to right-click, select Insert HTML...(or Wrap Tag if you made a selection) and select the span tag, then it Enter (Return).
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to apply a master page to even (or odd) pages in a long document?

I'm taking a very simple, large pdf document and bringing it into InDesign to add some graphics. The pdf is actually a customized 2-page document for a large employee group (i.e. pages 1 and 2 are for employee001, pages 3 and 4 are for employee002, pages 5 and 6 are for employee003, etc.).
I've found a script that allows me to bring in all the pages of the pdf at one time, provided I've set up the correct number of blank pages in InDesign. What I'm looking for now is a way to apply a master page to all even numbered pages at one time. Or all odd pages. Anyone have any ideas?
Ideally, an option that would import the entire pdf document, add the appropriate number of pages to the InDesign document, and be able to assign different master pages to even and odd pages would rock! Help!

for (var i=0;i<= PageLength-1;i++)
var isEven = function(someNumber){
return (someNumber%2 == 0) ? true : false;
if(isEven(newDoc.pages.item(i).name) == true)
          //Apply Master B for right page
          newDoc.pages.item(i).appliedMaster = app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item("B-Master");
//Move elements by x, y position, script label ContactEmail

I can't apply labels to images in version 2.1.1

Last November 3rd I updated IBooks Author to version 2.1.1 (459). Since that day I can't apply labels to images. I can edit labels for the existing images, but there isn't any label list when I import a new one. If I create a new widget, labels are applied and can be edited.
I've tested this issue with new documents and existing ones with the same result. I also tried to restore a version 2.1 from my previous TimeMachine backups, but no succes.
I've being working well since I installed Maveriks, until this version 2.1.1 update. It is a bug? I've read complains about the same failure in the comments of the App Store from Spain. Can I downgrade iBooks author?
I am finishing a techical book with hundreds of images, so, you know what I am feeling.

Might be a bug - best to contact Apple directly so they can take a look, I think...

Buttons in AS3.0... is there an easier way?

I am wondering if there is an easier way to create buttons in
3.0... I want to make an e-publication in 3.0 but am finding most
of the actions easier to do in 2.0. Should I generally use a
combination of these AS versions or am I missing something with
this endless array of 3.0 options? I am having troubles adapting to
the whole applying an action to a frame rather than button thing...
I have downloaded all the terminology from Adobe so that I can get
better adjusted, but it's always nice to read feedback from a real
person explaining a few simple things to me... links or comments
much much much appreciated!!!

cdbsoccer63,
vvirgill's answer is good, because it shows how easy AS3
buttons can be.
In fact, the nice thing about ActionScript 3.0 is that nearly
all event
handling is this easy, becuase nearly all of it is performed
the same way.
That is ...
someObject.addEventListener(
<an event to listen for>,
<what to do when the event occurs>
You can put that all on one like, like vvirgill showed, or
broken over
several lines, like I just showed with my own example. My
example isn't
literal code, so it wouldn't work if you typed that into the
Actions panel.
Like vvirgill did, you'd have to replace the <an event to
listen for> part
with the name of some event. For buttons, one of them is
"click", which
appears in quotes because it's a string (text). Then you'd
replace the
<what do do ...> part with the name of some function,
such as myListener(),
onClick(), or honestly, whatever name you like. I often use
clickHandler(),
but it doesn't matter, so long as the function name makes
sense to you (a
descriptive name is usually a good choice, such as
submitForm() or
orderPizza()). When you refer to your function as a parameter
inside the
addEventListener() method, you leave the parentheses off the
function,
because it's the parentheses that actually make the function
do its thing.
You don't want to trigger the function inside that
addEventListener()
method, but rather, in response to whatever event you'r
listening for.
So ... how do you know what events are valid for buttons --
or anything
else, for that matter? Look up the class entry for the object
you're
dealing with. If you're dealing with button symbols, look up
the
SimpleButton class. For movie clip symbols, look up the
MovieClip class.
For text fields, the TextField class, and so on. Each class
entry -- in
this case, in the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components
Reference (F1
key) -- generally has three categories: Properties
(characteristics of the
object), Methods (things the object can do), and Events
(things the object
can react to). You'll find relevant events under the Events
heading, as you
can imagine. Many classes inherit frunctionality from other
classes, so
always make sure to click the hyperlink that says "Show
Inherited
Properties/Methods/Events" near each heading.
The documentation will show you things a bit differently
than vvirgill
showed. Instead of "click", for example, you'll find sample
code that shows
you MouseEvent.CLICK. Don't be thrown by that. All that means
is that the
"click" string is stored as a constant (an unchanging
variable) of the
MouseEvent class. You can reference that string by referring
to the
contstant, like this:
myButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
clickHandler
According to best practices, you should do it like that
(it's the more
"proper" way to go about it), but in the end, all that
contsant does is
point to the string "click", so they ultimately mean the same
thing.
Nearly every time, if an object has an event, you'll be able
to wire up
an event listener the same way youv'e seen now in this
thread. The only
exceptions I can think of are related to video (cue points
and status
messages, I think) -- but for everything else ...
myObject.addEventListener(someEvent, someHandler);
... and then, of course, you have to write out that what
"someHandler" is.
As vvirgill demonstrated, that's easy to. You need a function
declaration,
and then the code you want performed, and that's really all
there is to it.
You do have to write the function to accept one parameter:
function myFunction(param:Event):void {
... which I called param in that snippet (vvirgill called it
e). That
parameter gives you optional access to the event itself, and
the *type* of
parameter it is depends on the type of event that triggers
the function.
Strictly speaking, the MouseEvent.CLICK event is an instance
of the
MouseEvent class (just like button symbols are instances of
the SimpleCutton
class, movie clips are instances of the MovieClip class, and
so on). So
ideally, that parameter should be typed as MouseEvent rather
than Event:
function myFunction(param:MouseEvent):void {
... but only when the function is triggered in reponse to a
mouse click
(that is, a MouseEvent). Makes sense, right? The reason
vvirgill's example
isn't wrong is because the MouseEvent class inherits some of
its
functionality from the Event class, so mouse event objects
actually *are*
event objects -- the identification as such is true -- but if
you're
adhering to Adobe recommendations, you'll type your
parameters (and all
variables) specifically.

Easy way to put black border around cropped video.

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to put a 2-3 pixel black border around a cropped, shrunk video clip.
Its kind of a picture-in-picture deal, but the "simple border" filter doesn't take into account the cropped edges. I've also tried drop shadow, but I need it to be hard lines.
Any suggestions (I'm looking for the easy way because I need to apply this effect to about 100 clips, otherwise I'd just put a black colour matte behind the image).
Cheers
Chris.

Layer the Boris Vector Shape generator around your clip. It's a great tool.

Is there an easy way to use MOVE when importing from card reader?

In Lightroom 1, I would hit File -> Import From Disk which would allow me to move photos from my card reader to the hard drive.
In Lightroom 3, the only option is the normal import dialog and in order to get the "Move" option I have to select "other source" and then scroll down the list to select the card reader in order to get the "Move" option. It's a pain to do it every time. (not to mention my wife will never do it and just use "copy").
So my question is, "Is there a way to get the Move option to be available by default on my card reader?"
It's been my workflow since 2004 to have the images deleted directly after I copy them off the memory card using Adobe software (Photoshop Album 2.0, Photoshop Elements 4, Lightroom 1.0). I'm really hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this in Lightroom 3. Otherwise I will be pretty disappointed.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
brianbjork wrote:
The reason I like the move command so much is that I know when photos are on my memory cards that the are not on my computer.
LR defaults to not importing suspected duplicates. so if there are still files on the card, they will be grayed out. That's how you can know.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
brianbjork wrote:
What do you all use in your work flow to delete the pictures left on your memory cards after they are copied?
I have a shell file that removes the files from the card and ejects the disk. I keep it in my dock for easy access.
Others will tell yiou, though, to format in camera. Which is a good idea! I just like to keep my cards empty and ready.

Applying labels to multiple files

How can I apply a label to multiple files through the visual interface? In other words, I want to select 3 files at once and then select the label option. I know I can click on the add button for the apply label dialogue but this can be very tedious if you are dealing with a large set of files. there has to be a way to do this right?
Thanks in advance . .

Let's see if I can describe this clearly. If I don't, do not hesitate to ask for clarification:
We have a parent folder Main that has production code. When a developer needs to work on a new project, he or she will branch a section of code to development folder and start working on it (if the same code files are there, there is no need to branch). to make sure we have a rollback option (in case things go wrong), the developer should be able to select a group of files and label them as labelproj1 old before he or she starts development. The way we do do development here is we have a rollback versions (we are still using VSS) based on previous pinnings if the project gets rolled back for whatever reason.
Selecting a group of files means we are only concerned with the files we modify. We don't want to select the code at the folder level because we are not modifying those files. We only concern ourselves with the files we modify for audit purposes.
does this clarify what I am looking for or do you need more clarification? Let me know and I wll be happy to clarify.

Best way to apply Schemas to Fragments

I'm been researching the best way to apply schemas to my fragments.   Either by applying all fragment and field schema elements to the form
or to put the fragment schema elements within the fragment.   I feel keeping a schema within the fragment seems like the way to go, but
unsure.   I you only reference a fragments schema in a form and a fragment within that form changes, do you have to go back a modify every form schema that is using that fragment? If I keep the schema in the fragment then I would only need to modify the fragment schema..correct?
Wow..hope this makes sense.

I agree with the small caveat that it sort of depends on the business/technical requirements surrounding your use of fragments. Fragments can be sort of flaky and difficult to work with so to peg a specific all-encompassing "best practice" would, in my opinion, be impossible. Using relative bindings in fragments is great (in fact it's what I'm doing on my current LC project), but it ends up becoming a bit limiting. It can make the fragment pretty tightly coupled to the "main" XDP form and whatever schema/XML is bound to it. Probably 9 times out of 10, that's not an issue, but the reasons for electing to use fragments can make it something you really need to think about.
My advice would be to avoid fragments unless you specifically need that functionality for a specific reason. It's easy to use fragments because they are cool and seem clean, but then can end up causing more headache than it's worth. On the other hand, using fragments as a method of compartmentalizing script objects is really really helpful. It helps you keep all your JavaScript inside script objects (instead of inside object events) and allows for reuse of scripts in different areas of the form(s). This saves development time, refactoring time, and disk space. I highly recommend looking into that scenario whenever possible.
Hope this helps.

I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer, is there an easy way to do this?

I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

Extract from one of our senior participant.
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.
